Day 1 "Mucha Redhead"

I hope to do this justice. Alphonse Mucha's original is simply breathtaking to me. I thought I'd give it a go and see what a similar image would look like as a Mosaic.

"Street Performers"

I just finished my latest mosaic(:

Day 10 WIP "Street Performers"

Day 9 WIP "Street Performers"

This piece is coming along slowly but surely. I've used all kinds of textured paper tiles to mosaic the street performers with their instruments. I continue to use paper tiles on wood because I'm really happy with the effect it creates. The possibilities are endless with the wide array of scrapbook papers out there. Some are metallic, velvet, glittered I love it! Tomorrow I will begin to tackle the background.

Day 5 WIP "Street Performers"

Feeling very inspired today as I spent many hours this weekend looking at Vintage Art Nouveau Posters on Pinterest. Pinterest is such an incredible way to keep track of all the things that inspire me. I am so drawn to the style, color, detail and overall beauty of Art Nouveau images. I think for my next piece I'd like to try and replicate one in Mosaic form.

Today I spent a good 7 hours in my studio working on my Mosaic. I finished the girls arm and the Banjo she's holding. Then decided to give her some red hair. I'm really happy with the way it's turning out.

I also made these cool wooden storage platforms to hold my paper tiles. They worked so well today!
